T HOMAS EDISON FIRST DEMONSTRATED THE LIGHTBULB IN 1879, the same year Providence Picture Frame opened its doors. Over the past 145 years, design trends and the artistic techniques have constantly changed. What hasn’ t changed is PPF’ s commitment to always doing what is right for its clients and their artwork. By constantly investing in craftspeople, training and equipment, PPF continues to be the leader in framing and other art services as it has been for the past 145 years. PPF’ s culture is one of professional, friendly and creative collaboration with a team that is able to work with first-time framers and design professionals alike.
CUSTOM FRAMING PPF’ s professional framing designers have built their careers by creating framing solutions for a broad range of artworks and clients. Thanks to access to thousands of commercially available frame samples, combined with the company’ s custom in-house woodworking and welding studio and network of artisans and craftspeople, there is no limit to what the team can do for you. Beyond the aesthetics, the archival treatment and protection of each piece is carefully considered as well as the environment where it will ultimately be displayed. The philosophy is simple: Anything the team frames can be unframed in the future, leaving it as pristine as the day you brought it in. This attention to detail is why PPF is trusted by serious collectors, museums and artists more than any other framer in the region.
OBJECT FRAMING AND PRESENTATION Beyond two-dimensional framing, PPF’ s three-dimensional display projects are unique, yet the company’ s goals remain the same— to securely hold and protect an object, and to present it in such a way that the structure holding it is either invisible or is designed to complement the object.
